105th Carnival of the Cats
We're so happy to be hosting the 105th Carnival of the Cats. This is the second time we've had the party here so we feel a little better about it all.
Come on in!
First up is a posted video clip that will surely make everyone go “awwwww!”
Catheroo catheroominations has an adorable clip you won’t want to miss, really the Cutest. Thing. Evah.
And speaking of kittens, Karen at The Thomas Institute shows us Daisy and Rosy snuggling. But…there’s been a change! How will it affect this mother-daughter relationship as Karen wonders Whose Bright Idea It Was To Adopt The Cats? I think Daisy & Rosy will be okay as soon as the scent of surgery wears off! :)
Rahel at Elms in the Yard snapped some wonderful pictures of kitties who weren't too shy for her camera. Rahel also took snaps of a kitty resting in a tree. We enjoyed looking at the pictures of the birdies too!
ACM at Just Between Strangers featured another adorable kitten, Pixel, this week. We know about trying to give equal face time to our kitties! :) Amber and Mouse vie for the camera sometimes.
LHK at Beezer Song finds that kitties really love keeping desk chairs warm!
Miss Clover at Melange has gone into hiding! She would like to be found so she can participate in today's carnival. Oh, where, oh where can Miss Clover be? Peek-a-boo! SRP also posts pictures of two really cool cats! I have to admit I haven't seen either our girls Amber or Mouse sit the way Nicky and Rhett are sitting!
Ringo at Elisson says, "Call me a lawyer, I've been framed!
Creatures of the Earth's Cato has a political opinion:"Who cares what they think? I don't care if the President deceived everyone about Iraq. I don't even know where Iraq is. I am much more interested in knowing whether Galloway will grow his own tail or use a prosthesis."
Ferdy at Conservative Cat is doing the thoughtful thing for his human pets--trying to keep together a favorite old chair!
Check out the phantom paw at maggies meanderings and shameless plugs
Depending on your generation, Abby is having fun doing the Hootchie Kootchie/Curly Shuffle/break dancing at Manx Mnews!
At Blueberry's Texas Oasis, you have to pay a toll to get up the stairs. Preferred method of payment: Catnip!
Mister Gato and Chow Bella share a sunbeam at Barry Campbell's Enrevanche. What a sweet picture! Now, why can't we two legged creatures of different cultures get along? ;)
It's that time of the year again! Velvet, one of Two Black Cats takes advantage of some nice weather in March and relaxes in the sunshine!
Chocolate Chip is deep in concentration at The Peach Pit!
Winston of A Blog, Purr-Say demonstrates three steps to PURR-sonal hygiene
Aloysius Katz at catymology has gone on strike! Why is there still snow on the ground when it's supposed to be spring?
Lab Kat posted a picture of Pica, the underfed. Poor Pica "looks" underfed! :)
Rocket is chief mouser and protector at keewee'scorner!
Ready? Set? No action from Bagheera at Stereophilia: Wes Phillips Blog. And check out the WMD on Huckleberry! What claws!
Most of the time, we don't enjoy infomericals or commercials of any kind. But, Kukka-Maria of Memoirs of a Feline Empress in Exile markets a product in such a way no feline can resist! Check out Whisker Well and "Unleash the Lion Within!"
Everyone needs a dedicated and efficient security kitty like Aye-Aye of Composite Drawlings!
Cats love to hide! Rhett of No Deep Thoughts seems to have a perfect hiding place but still wonders, "How did you find me?" Peek-a-boo!
tgr at This Girl Remembers came home from work to find a new friend waiting for her. Who can resist that face?
Omnibus Driver at Leslie's Omnibus shares the thoughts of sleeping kitties Miss Marilyn and Tiger Boots!
This picture is priceless! Check out the expression on Butterscotch's face at at Mensa Barbie Welcomes You !
Even two can be a crowd as Willie learns to his chagrin and Jack's triumph at Sleeping Mommy
There are beautiful pictures of a black kitty and an Ode To Seal at Cascade Exposures.
At Middle-Fork, ouch! Maple Will Not Be Having Any Kittens
Over at Watermark, Spike and Boo have joined a very friendly Kitty Community, Catster! Amber and Mouse joined there last year and there are no catty kitties there, they're all nice! Cute pictures, too! SB also shared a black and white picture of Boo.
Kimberly at Anchored by Grace wrote "What a neat idea! I'd like to share a photo of Riley, the Cutest Cat in the World? (I know others may dispute that title, but Riley and I know the truth :P ) and Princess Lotus Blossom, who looks very sweet but the heart of a brat beats deep within her chest." Check out Riley & Blossom
Here is another picture to make you go "awwwww". Callie and Tiger are sibs and they do look it! Callie also gives Mr. Toast of Wind In The Wire the "hairy eyeball" ... a look I've only seen from feline friends!
Sisu's entries this week Tuck in It doesn't require religious faith to believe in something worth fighting for and The Babe in Might this explain the weird reasoning of many leftists?
Here are two more sun worshippers. "Emily and Paris react differently to the sun, but neither one of them will leave a sunny room when one is available," says Cath Coll. Ah, who can blame them?
CFO Mom at My Cats Are French realizes that kitties are a lot like human tykes when it comes to toys--they like the wrappings and the empty boxes better than the toys! "Money can't buy happiness." So true!
It's amazing how cats can squeeze themselves into tight places! Snowball of Josh's Weblog may be growing bigger but she can still fit into low lying places! Snowball is also a very pretty kitty.
Ah, more spring is springing pictures! At Val's Bien, the temperatures may have started off in the 20s ... brrrrrrrr!.... But it warmed up enough for Eli and Tigger to enjoy some fun in the sun.
Sebastian and Yaffa are cuddling at Furry Paws. I love pictures of cats cuddling. Amber and Mouse do not cuddle but I guess that is because we adopted them from different owners when they were adults.
Smudge at Farmgirl Fare looks quite comfortable and content posing on the old well house roof.
Rosa of Rosa's Yummy Yums features "uncontrollable jumping pea" Fridolin, aka "Inspektor".
At StrangeRanger, Maddie goes on a walkabout in the yard with her human pets.
Clare Eats at eatstuff says Kiri was the best company when she wasn't feeling so well!
Josh Cohen at Multiple Mentality wrote about Piper, the cat who survived an 80 foot fall!
KT Cat of The Scratching Post shows she is not so out of shape she can't beat any competition to an open can of tuna!
Jack Cluth of The People's Republic of Seabrook lets us know who the real talent behind the keyboard is!
We have several acts from Mind of Mog:
Iggy FatAnother Wasted Day "Taking pictures of the cats in and out"
Poor Millie at cb.blog wants compensation -- attention and affection. Hope Millie is feeling all better soon!
Morris of Ego is reflected in the window in athoughtful pose.
What a priceless expression on the kitty at Music and Cats! This is the look I get from our kitties when we want to take their pictures: Feline Friday: Whaddaya want?
And finally, what would the carnival be without an appearance from TIBOC's Piper and Nardo?
That's this week's round up--we're pretty sure we got everyone but let us know if we inadvertently left you off. Next week's Carnival of the Cats will be hosted by Pet's Garden Blog. Have a great week everyone!
Cassie, it's me Cheryl. How are you and everyone? What is carnival of the cats? Is that a picture of Amber at the top of this post? I want to show it to her original owner, my friend Debb (who told the owner about you) was telling me she was curious how she is.
